Brain tumor cluster among nurses sparks investigation at Massachusetts hospital
April 4, 2025
12:59
An investigation is underway at a Massachusetts hospital after several nurses working on the same floor were diagnosed with brain tumors. All five affected individuals worked on the fifth-floor maternity unit at Newton-Wellesley Hospital, which is operated by Mass General Brigham. Hospital officials confirmed that all the tumors were benign.
Newton-Wellesley Hospital is examining a cluster of benign brain tumors among its nurses.
“After we became aware of reported brain tumors in individuals who currently or previously worked in the same area of the hospital, we conducted an extensive investigation in collaboration with the Department of Occupational Health and Safety, Newton-Wellesley Safety Officer, radiation and pharmaceutical safety offices, and external environmental consultants,” the hospital said in a statement.

Since April 1, 11 current or former staff members from the unit have been interviewed. In addition to the five nurses diagnosed with brain tumors, six others have reported various health concerns, though the exact nature of these conditions has not been disclosed.
“Every staff member who came forward was allowed to be interviewed by the Occupational Health and Safety team to evaluate each diagnosis in the context of their individual medical history and risk factors,” the hospital stated.
“To assess potential environmental exposures in that area, comprehensive environmental evaluations, following CDC guidelines, began in December.”

“The investigation found no environmental risks linked to the development of brain tumors,” the statement concluded.
Despite these findings, the Massachusetts Nurses Association (MNA), which represents many hospital employees, has raised concerns about the thoroughness of the environmental assessments and called for additional testing to rule out workplace-related exposure.
“The hospital cannot make this issue go away by attempting to provide a pre-determined conclusion,” the MNA told NBC10 Boston.
